The Pinkerton Raid is preparing to release a new full length album later this summer, and in between writing and recording the album, songwriter Jesse DeConto also wrote and released This Littler Light, a memoir about his life, his faith, and of course music. DeConto spoke with Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt about combining stories from the book with song for an intimate tour, the audience's reaction and the band's forthcoming album.

The Pinkerton Raid will be at Red Tree Gallery near Cincinnati on June 3rd.
